Planting Details
| Seed Depth | 1/4" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 2 seeds every 18" |
| Thinning | When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 18" |
| Germination | 10 – 20 Days |
| Start Indoors | 10 to 12 weeks before your average last frost date (may bloom first year if started indoors). |
| Direct Sow | 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, or in fall for spring germination. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 65°–70°F. Cool soil temperatures may delay germination. |
| Special Care | Water plants during dry spells in the winter (even in cold climates). Also mulch soil surface over plants to provide winter protection. (Even though this is particularly good advice for echinacea, most perennials benefit from this procedure). |

This is not a review. I will delete it after I, hopefully, get an answer from you. I didn’t know how else to contact.
It’s my understanding that hybrid flowers revert back to the parents’ color.
Can you please clarify? Thank you.
